Matthew 5:33-3733 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything more than this comes from evil.Sermon Questions1. When have you found yourself using words for power? 2. How has that impacted your relationship with others? with God? 3. When is it hard to trust God's words? What proves to you you can trust God's words?4. How is Jesus shaping your life recently, into one of integrity?5.Where do you need to pay greater attention to your speech (i.e.words, tone, or heart)? 

We often seek God's blessings without being deeply rooted in Christianity, relying on self-evident truths. Jesus teaches us that our words should be truthful and full of integrity, avoiding manipulation. True transformation comes from the heart, not just behavior change, and happens when we root ourselves in the gospel.

In a world wounded by words that deceive, demean and dismiss people, Jesus is inviting us to heal the wounds of deceit by being people who tell the truth with our words and our lives.

Christians should be radical truth tellers.

Our adventures in the Sermon on the Mount continue as we enter the sensitive territory of vows and divorce. Just as the maxim of "location, location, location" holds true in the world of real estate, "context, context, context" is essential when it comes to understanding the meaning of a passage. Join us this week as we dive headfirst into topics that are critical for our call to be Salt and Light in this world.

Jesus says, "Let what you say be simply 'Yes' or 'No': anything more than this comes from evil." In other words, speak the truth and keep your promises. Say what you mean; mean what you say; do what you say you will do. I. What Moses taught, v33. II. What the Pharisees taught, vv34-36. III. What Jesus teaches, v37.
